Open Source for Business

This one day course provides a good all round introduction to Agile software development approaches. Our trainer will equip you with the skills and knowledge you need to take Agile back in to your team. We've aimed this course at developers, testers, business analysts, database administrators, project managers and executives. The course is delivered as an interactive workshop, enabling you to learn from our trainer's wealth of experience, as well as having the opportunity to address issues relevant to your own experience. This will help increase the likelihood of a successful adoption of Agile for your software development project.

Employers in Yorkshire and Humber can take advantage of our funding offer which means this course costs £120, rather than the full list price of £295.

We can also offer follow-on training. Because we believe adopting Agile is very personal each team and organistaion, we offer this on an company basis. Our trainer works with your team to enable them to take on specific Agile roles. Typically this would be a two day on site coaching-style course, which would cover:

- one to one sessions with key team members including managers

- coaching on test driven development, continuous integration and other Agile techniques

- Development of an Agile process specific to your organisation

- Development of Agile documentation (user stories, product backlogs etc)

The funding also applies to this offer - please contact us direct to discuss your requirements and we will be able to provide further details and costs.

Your trainer is Nick McKenna, Certified Scrum Master and Practitioner. Nick runs his own successful software development house using Agile principles and practices. Nick is also treasurer for the Agile Yorkshire group which meets monthly to promote Agile development in our Region.
